SARON mortgage loan: a flexible mortgage for maximum optimisation of your loan

BCGE's SARON mortgage loan allows you to benefit from transparent and low interest rates. The mortgage loan is based on the SARON (Swiss Average Rate Overnight). It reflects the conditions for daily transactions in the secured CHF money market. The compounded SARON serves as the reference for the calculation of interest rates.

You can react very quickly if interest rates rise by simply telling your adviser to convert your SARON mortgage loan into a fixed-rate mortgage loan at the beginning of the next calendar quarter. The interest rate applicable on the day of your request will be applied.

You will thus optimise the interest rate risk by splitting your loan between a short-term rate (SARON) and a medium or long-term rate (fixed interest rate from 2 to 15 years).
